Hear about what educators are doing to 'soak up the rain' in schools & communities

Presenters include:

John will present student projects utilizing rain runoff from the greenhouse for rain barrel collection and rain gardening in addition to projects involving green roofs and other innovative uses of storm water.  He will also highlight how these exciting projects and others have met the state educational standards with buy-in from school administration.

Ruth Steward, Executive Director, Worcester Tree Initiative. Ruth Steward has been with the Worcester Tree Initiative for over seven years. She has been responsible for coordinating planting programs with more than fifty schools in and around Worcester and starting the 'Stewards in the Streets' volunteer tree steward program which assesses the health of city street trees.
